Yesterday, the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 2 yards, taking the policy rate range to 4.25%~4.5%, as expected by the market. However, Powell’s hawkish comments at the post-meeting press conference that the policy rate will remain at a high level for some time could reduce the chance of a soft landing.
